Inclusivity & Belonging
All Identities Welcome: This is a dedicated, safe, and joyful space for all women and gender-expansive runners. We intentionally celebrate diversity in our community. Whether you identify as BIPOC, LGBTQ+, a beginner, a plus-size athlete, or an experienced runner, you have a place in our mix.
We actively protect a space where racism, homophobia, transphobia, sizeism, ableism, ageism, classism, and religious intolerance are strictly prohibited - please note that CTM has zero tolerance for this.
Respect Names & Pronouns: We honor everyone’s self-identification. Respect the names and pronouns shared by members. If you make a mistake, gently correct yourself and move forward.
Celebrate All Bodies: We support size-inclusive running. Diet culture talk, body shaming, or unsolicited comments on food, weight, or physical appearance have no place in our mix.
Pace inclusive: We intentionally choose routes that are all pace friendly (as well as looped courses to allow for choices on distance) and on many of our runs we sweep at the stated pace in the run announcement. Run leaders will stop at various locations to allow for runners behind to catch up with each other. On the flip side if you are faster than the group you are very welcome to continue at your own pace - it’s fun to have a lot of different paces out there.
CTM is a judgment-free zone where you can show up exactly as your authentic self.
